its the little things in life....and design




have you seen this "before" photo before? this was taken even before we had the keys to the front door of hillside. as you can see......um......hillside was not in best form at the time and thank god for a teenie tiny bit of vision. many people would probably run and never look back, and that may have been the route we should have taken too....kidding.

i have been promising a friend a photo of part of the exterior facelift (new window frame). all it took was some of our extra wood, a few tools and a very handy contractor to make the simplest and most important change to date on the exterior. i am holding onto some photo's for a true before and after (at the rate we are going the reveal will be 2 years from now).

happy wednesday.

yep. that window framing makes all the difference. I know sometimes it's hard to see the progress when you are smack-dab in the middle of it; but, you're really coming along...

perfect gray-
i know...it is hard to see it as it has been so slow. 11 months later and it feels like not much has changed...but when i look through the old photo's i see huge change.

B...we have twin window trim, except ours is on the inside. Love the craftsman look and feel.
I'm sure dear Hillside is thanking you profusely and is so happy that someone is finally taking care of it's 'beauty needs' as it should have been all along...with love and attention to detail. These special exterior touches (as well as the interior ones) are helping Hillside's 'inner' charm and character to finally emerge! Looking forward to seeing more...one day, no pressure! ;)
